Old Paris Pink Candlestick Pair
We don't know if you look pretty in pink but these Old Paris candlesticks sure do. We have never beheld such pinkly splendor in porcelain candlesticks nor in such fine condition. You will love these sticks - perhaps even sleep with them. You will not find another in your lifetime no matter how hard you look.

These porcelain candlesticks stand on a round base decorated with a gold egg and dart trim punctuated with white slip dots. The outer edge of the base is also painted in gold but has worn to various degrees although the left candlestick shows the most wear. Please ask for more photos for better documentation on this issue but we think that you will not find this to be a problem at all. The pillars are decorated with 3 gold bands two of which are dimensional. The lipped bobeche matches the base in decorative treatment. There is one small blemish on the right candlestick of which we can provide a closeup. Again this should be a non-issue for the serious collector but there are a couple of other trivial imperfections which is natural of antiques this age - again please ask for pictures as this issue effects your interest. Finally, there is very subtle fine crazing noticeable only upon very close inspection.

The underside is marked with hand painted 9094.

We date these to mid 19th C.
